What If You Were A Portland Police Officer

 I truly believe the officers of the Portland police are heroes. I can only imagine their daily routine. Their shift ends and they go home to their spouse. She or he will greet Officer Friendly with a kiss and a hug and say, "How was your day, dear?" The that officer states, "Oh, it was the same routine. We had a few Molotov cocktails thrown at us and I had to dodge a couple of pipe bombs. Then there was a girl who spit in my face."

Every day the police take their kids to Little League games, to the playground and tuck them into bed. They wonder about bills to be paid. Police officers are people just like you and me. They deserve to be treated that way. If you went to church in your civies and saw a person in their civies would you spit on them? What if you found out that person in church was a police officer. Would your attitude change? 

I once had a teaching job and I was in absolute misery. It all had to do with a nun principal who was clueless. The morale in the school was as low as low could be. But I didn't have to dodge gasoline spray from the students. I wasn't ever approached by a kid holding a knife or gun. In essence, I pretty much had it made. 

In Dublin Ohio or any of the surround communities, Columbus included I go out of my way to thank an officer when I see them. It's not the biggest thing in the world to do but I hope it makes their day a little better.

From the Daily Wire:


Far-left rioters attacked law enforcement officials in Portland on Saturday night and set an arson fire inside of a police building that they breached.The group of rioters, estimated by police to have numbered in the hundreds, marched to toward the Portland Police Association (PPA) Office and “illegally block[ed]” traffic along the way.“People within the crowd committed crimes when they erected a fence, pushed dumpsters into the street to block traffic, set a dumpster on fire, vandalized the PPA office with spray paint, and destroyed security cameras,” the Portland Police Department said in a statement.
